“I don’t know if I want my children to see short videos and are not able to see something more than 15 minutes”

The arrival of the new short videos formats driven by platforms such as Tiktok or Instagram has dragged YouTube and other social networks to adopt the same content format Based on the infinity scroll. That change has generated a growing concern among the pioneers themselves in online video. Steve Chen, co -founder of YouTube, has shown his doubts as a father and user with respect to this format of short fast consumption videos that Pop for all attention of the user. “I think Tiktok is entertainment, but it’s pure entertainment,” Chen said. Use and throw content. Within the framework of A talk with students From the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the YouTube co -founder was not fully comfortable with the idea that their young children grow up watching videos of a few seconds. “I do not know if I want my children to see short format content as their only form of entertainment, and that they are not able to see something that lasts more than 15 minutes,” Chen, father of two children confessed, answering the questions of Stanford’s students. These statements show a growing concern among parents: children are digital native, but that does not guarantee that they develop skills or have the necessary tools for the responsible consumption of content served in Infinite Scroll Format demanding of constant attention. The child’s attention capacity. Chen also insisted on an argument that has become frequent among researchers: excess short content can alter the capacity to concentrate, especially among the youngestaccording to published by The Guardian. “The shortest format content is equivalent to lower attention capacity,” Chen said in his response. This type of highly visual videos were described by the engineer as a simple entertainment that does not necessarily provide educational or formative value, but with a high risk of affecting The attention capacity and to the cognitive development of the youngest when exposed to increasingly brief and addictive stimuli. Screen time control. One of the situations that most disturb Chen is the role of algorithms in foster digital addiction. As explained by the founder of YouTube, many platforms depend economically that users, including children, spend as long as possible connected. “It is a delicate balance between what attracts user attention and what generates more income, compared to what is really useful,” he warned. Faced with this risk, Chen openly suggested that technology should “consider limiting the daily use time of these applications, according to the age of users.” Extended concern. Steve Chen is not the only leader in the digital field that has ruled on the risks of the doomscrolling. Sam Altman, who premiered paternity in February, was also worried about The first podcast OpenAI for the impact of social networks In younger users. “I am worried about children in technology. I think that short videos inject dopamine; it seems that children’s brain development is deeply affecting,” said Openai’s founder. In that same idea, the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of the Super Survents coincides ‘The anxious generation’ and professor at the University of New York, which in different interventions has warned sharply: “Social networks are seriously damaging children in the western world,” in statements collected by Business Insider. The expert has also warned that “the destruction of human care worldwide could be an even greater cost for humanity than the epidemic of mental health and health problems.” Try to put doors to the field. Steve Chen mentioned in his talk, that some parents try to prevent their children from watching short videos “with vibrant colors and addictive eyes”, preferring longer, although less exciting formats. The reason is clear: it is sought to prevent minors from developing an early dependence on fast and instant content, difficult to reverse as they grow. That is why parents expose them to content with a more resting rate. “If they are not exposed to the short format content immediately, then they maintain satisfaction with that other type of content they are watching (with longer videos),” said the co -founder.

How to create videos with artificial intelligence: 13 essential free tools

Let’s tell you the best programs to create free artificial intelligence videos So you can give life to your ideas. Although the quality of the videos is not yet up to the images, they promise to be the next great revolution of artificial intelligence. However, before this revolution arrives we will tell you the main current alternatives. Virtually all the services we are going to tell you are paying, although with free versions that allow you to try them as a demonstration. Almost all also offer a small monthly or daily chip recharge, so you can continue using them for free, although With limited resolutions and with water marks. We are going to start with an explanation on how to create the videos with these websites, and then we will tell you the list of services. And as we always say in Xataka Basics, if you think we have left some important service We invite you to say it in the comments section so that all readers can benefit from the knowledge of our xatakers. How these videos are created To create videos with artificial intelligence using any of the programs that we are going to propose, what you will need is to write a prompt or command in which you describe what you want it to appear in the video. Then, the AI of the service will generate it. Many of these solutions also allow Create videos from images. This means that you can contribute a photo or drawing that will serve as a starting point, and then the AI will generate what you ask from it. There are two other types of videos by AI You can find yourself. The first is the images based on images that are moving with an off voice, where you will be able to contribute a script with what you want to happen. And finally, you will also be able to create Videos with an avatar speakinga person explaining something with a voice generated by the saying what you write. These can be used for explanatory video types. In all cases You will need to create an account In the services that we are going to tell you, and then you will be given a series of free tokens that you will use to create videos. The amount of videos you can create depends on each service, but there are usually few. Hailuo We start with this emerging service, simply because It is the one that has given the best results in the tests done to compose the article. It is quite new but offers decent results, and you will have enough free daily credits and for several videos. You simply have to use a prompt describing what you want and ready, in a few minutes you will have a prepared video. Your free plan only supports 6 second and 768p videos of resolutionalthough these can be from a text or generated from an image. I see 2 Google is developing its own AI engine to create video, whose latest version is I see 3. Although this is limited to payment users, there is a way you can Test the previous versionI see 2 that is totally free through the Ai Studio portal. The quality of the videos is quite lower, and we have encountered numerous problems due to excess use. Come on, that if there are many people using it at the time you want to create a video, it will directly give you error and you will not be able to do it. Adobe Firefly The function of creating videos with artificial intelligence of Adobe Firefly It is payment. However, allows you to create two free videos of about 5 seconds, as a test form, although for this you will also need to create and identify with a user account. Although most options are limited to the payment option, when creating video you will be able to choose the resolution and the appearance ratio, in addition to the frames per second and the duration. You also have adjustments to choose the camera or movement. Capcut Capcut is a popular multi -tool in which you can make all kinds of creations with artificial intelligence. Among them, is the possibility of create a video from a text that acts as script. You describe what happens in the tool, and this creates it. This function is free, but it has a trick. Videos are not moving imagesbut a succession of static images created with ia that happen, and with a background voice that reads the script you have written. Basic and does not give what it promises, but at least they don’t ask too much. Runway One of the great tools for Create Artificial Intelligence Videowhere you just have to describe what you want with a prompt. First you will create the initial image, which you can modify as you want, and then you already generate the video from it. The negative part is that Your free version is very limited. When you register for free, you are given 125 credits of a single use, and when you finish it, it is over. Therefore, although the quality of the tool is good, its free mode is a temporary demo. Kling AI Another good somewhat more generous tool in its free plan, since it offers 166 credits per month that are recharged monthly. Then, in general the videos can cost about 20 credits for 5 seconds, something else depending on the additional configuration options. Unfortunately, the version to create video to video videos is disabled unless you are a payment user, although you can always use another AI to create an image and then use the creation of video to video, which is what can be used in free mode. Of course, a free 5 second video may take more than 3 hours to generate if you do not pay. Invideo This is a kind of chatgpt for video. Has a free mode … Read more

Google has shown the future of our videos and photos in Google Photos. A future full of false videos

Google just announce what seemed inevitable after The power of its models of artificial intelligence (Ia) generative In photos and video: Creation of photos and videos in Google Photos from the images of our reel. A novelty that speaks for itself of the future that awaits our content. What’s new. As an AI giant, Google gradually carries all its new advances to the set of services of its catalog. Google Photos has always been a place to experiment with AI, as is the case with the Magic editor or mode Reimagine. Now goes beyond “small touch -ups”, and proposes to create short videos from the photos stored on the reel. At the moment there is not much to indicate to the assistant, who will accept as options “subtle movements” or the classic “I will be lucky” to create a video of up to six seconds. Another novelty of Google Photos is “Remix”, a function that transforms the style of the images we select, being able to choose between styles such as anime, comic, sketches. Google’s anime example remembers Ghibli at Chatgpt. It is a movement that remembers Ghibli moment of Openai, that “Servers melted. Unlike Chatgpt’s global availability, in launch the function will only be available in the United States. Where are we going. With the movement, Google turns a strong trend into personnel and mass: that of the generated videos that seem realistic And social networks and YouTube are flooded. And beyond fun, it presents serious consequences. In Tiktok, for example, there are more and more young people using their mobile to watch mental health videos, with a problem: The most viral are false. The platforms are becoming “Lays of AI“, and far from fighting these trends, they are amplifying them. Meta, for example, has integrated tools such as Advantage+ To create different versions of an ad with little investment. When they try to warn us that the content is created by AI, They are not sure what it is. In text, Openai had its own detector, but ended up closed after admitting that It was not necessary. Our false photos are already a millionaire business. Pieter Levels He is a well -controversial developer and entrepreneur who climbed very soon to the wave of the generative AI with two tools that generate huge amounts to be the only developer, and all using Models ‘Open Source’. One of them, with which he says to enter $ 139,000 Photoai.com. Its function is simple: after training a model with our selfies, we can create an AI model based on us, and then take pictures in the place or possess we want. It goes further that the proposal starts from Google photos, and is already able to make realistic videos of many types, including modeling sessions. Under the slogan “say goodbye to your photographer” points to a future (not very distant) where AI can take care of all the photos we want in paradisiacal enclaves. Fake places where to posture On Instagram, but without the need to move at home. The Spanish Freepik It also has Your alternative. And there are people doing chilling things: inventing their own memories From photographs. Apple plays to improve our memories, without creating them. With iOS 26Apple has presented a function that “gives life to our photos, but in a different sense. The company showed from its inception to Vision Pro as a platform to remember family moments with fidelity. Now it allows photos captured with any iPhone in normal mode become a spatial scene with depth (visible on our mobile, without the need for a virtual reality kit).

Tiktok and Instagram have become an immense compilation of stolen videos. And they have no idea how to solve it

Open Tiktok (or your trusted short videos platform) and the following appears: a clip extracted from a podcast uploaded by random account @user97567, a video to a split screen with a talk up and Parkour in Minecraft below and a compilation of cat videos that upload @funnycatslolhaha. What do all these clips have in common? That none is proper. All that content It has been stolen to its original creators And the problem is that no platform seems to know how to solve it. Context. When you go up to the Internet, controlling its distribution is extremely complicated. In the same way that no one can prevent you from copying and hitting this text on a blog, preventing someone from downloading A YouTube video, A Tiktok, A reela content in general, it is not an easy thing. On many occasions the platform itself allows and, if not, it is possible to resort to third -party tools that sometimes can even remove the water brand. 21 Instagram tricks – Tutorial with all secrets! So that. Profiles that rectify content of other users do not do so for love of art. They do it with two possible objectives: monetize the account using dedicated platform funds or inflate the figures to sell them. Surely names Babronazi o PostureoEspañol make the bell sound. It is also possible that it is a fans account, in which case the reason may be more innocent. Be that as it may, these accounts are promoted based on stealing content from other users and republicing it after a slight modification (if any). The typical “for you”: Memes accounts, cat videos and accounts with zero units of own content | Captures: Xataka In fact, there are profiles and courses specialized in what is normally known as “network automation”. Roughlythis system consists of combining AI tools, videos of other creators and fast editing templates to generate a huge volume of videos and monetize the account. It is one of those practices to “generate passive income“, among quotes, how strong they usually hit in a certain segment of the population. The reality, however, is much more complex. Solutions. Few, unfortunately. Some users have found to embed a water mark within the video itself a way that, if any discharge tool can eliminate what generates the platform, that remains. However, the reality is that social platforms have failed to stop the distribution of original content by third parties. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Tiktok are full of that content. The algorithm mixes it with the original content and serves it to users, which consume it. To all purposes, the platform is gaining because its objective (increase retention) is achieved. The creator, although it can be relatively benefited in terms of exposure, loses the gain that, potentially, could have had his profile of having published said content. Image | Xataka What are platforms doing. Given this situation, some platforms have tried to take measures with greater or lesser success. YouTube has it well tied. Although it is possible to continue up and monetizing “reused content”, that is, the typical video reacting to the new song of X or the video of another creator, the platform does not allow monetizing what it considers “non -authentic content” (mass made videos) or clips extracted from a podcast that is not yours. This applies to both long videos and shorts. Instagram allows Upstate third parties and does not hit. Now, if you detect that someone has uploaded a video of another person, you will automatically add an “original content of” content and link it to your profile. Politics, however, is … complex. The material edited materially, see “a person appears in a superimposed video and adds new information, such as comments”, is allowed and distributed as normally. Facebook has been more permissive (to the point of allowing direct monetization of videos with non -original content), so far. THE META PLATFORM has announced which will adopt in its reels a policy similar to that of Instagram. However, there are no mechanisms to prevent a reused content page. Tiktok It has some guides That, on paper, they exclude from ‘for you’ the “reproduced or non -original content that does not incorporate new or creative changes.” The reality, however, is that it is enough to add subtitles or make some edition for the video to be distributed as normally. Another issue is intellectual property. This is a swampy terrain and the platforms usually cover their backs in their policies prohibiting it, directly. When we upload a video to Tiktok or Instagram we grant a global license so that this video is exploited, but the rights of said video remain ours. We could, in theory, put a copy of Copyright to all the accounts that we see to use our content, but that is an intense job and, speaking in silver, putting doors to the field. We can find the same in other sectors. For example, models uploaded to 3D printing repositories are, unless it is marked, for personal use. That a Makerworld model is downloaded has no commercial license to exploit it in your Etsy store. However, this a practice known and persecuted by the community, but against which it is difficult to fight. In summary. The accounts that use third parties will not disappear and combat this practice does not seem easy. That is a full -fledged paradox, since the platforms encourage users to raise original content, but at the same time they do not protect it completely. And not only that, but the user does not care in excess because, after all, they go to these platforms to entertain themselves. It is indifferent if that entertainment comes from the most worked video in the world, a compilation of funny babies, the Senimous Iteration of Tung Tung Tung Sahur or a video of a boy dancing on a kayak.

ASMR’s videos had become one of the most pleasant places on the Internet. Until the AI ​​arrived

If in recent days your feeds In social networks they are full of videos in which someone, with a knife, cuts glass planets, stuffed fruits or precious metals in slices of bread, do not worry. It is the latest generation of hyperrealistic videos made with AI, and have found a reef: extremely relaxing, satisfactory images and sounds and thanks to the possibilities of artificial intelligence, also impossible. An unexpected phenomenon. The simplicity of these tiny videos and how easy it is to elaborate them with models such as I see3 have led to have multiplied exponentially in recent weeks. They are clips of just seconds, with a surreal point, in which we see a cut knife, with extraordinary cleaning, all kinds of objects. The small models of planets (usually are of glass or stone) and other glass foods triumph. The grace is that within these objects there may be any substance or surprise: lava, gelatin, flames nuclei … The AI ​​thus exploits its ability to generate hyperrealistic images, but that the viewer knows that they cannot be real. The result intrigues enough to want to know more and stay to the following video, or enter the multiple profiles that make content of this type. Why here and now. Videos take advantage of the ability to see highly realistic textures in the foreground, allowing a prompt to just five lines and a handful of key concepts Very well chosen (“Extreme Macro Perspective, Sticky Separation with Deep Glugs”, “Rich, Slow and Hypnotic” …) these types of videos are generated quickly. That is, they are multiplying at high speed because advanced technical knowledge is not necessary, everything is automatically generated, and there is room for a certain variety: With some imagination, all kinds of objects and sensations can be recreated. Accounts to start. We assure you that as soon as you see a few accounts of this type, you will not have to make more search efforts: the algorithm will take care of the rest and you will have a real avalanche of videos of this type. But if you want some clues, there are some proper names: Impossibleais (well known and followed, glass food), Sicksicee (objects of all kinds, to each more surreal), ASMR_inventory (Video games related objects) … And more: Element.Slice (elements of the periodic table, with realistic effects), Danielleleto (Spread in bread slices impossible objects), click theaii (An original variant: computer key), slice..imposeible (More absurd glass objects) … the list is endless. Where all this comes from. The ASMR (autonomous meridian sensory response) arose Like a phenomenon on the Internet As of 2007, when personal experiences began to share pleasant sensations induced by certain soft sounds and voices. The term was coined in 2010 by Jennifer Allen to describe that sense of tingling and well -being that mainly caused the whispers and soft noises. The first ASMR videos were homemade recordings, made by fans with basic equipment and an experimental approach, and the content was varied: whispers, beaten, crunch and even role -playing games and simulations of invented situations. Its success and massification allowed the subsequent emergence of technologies such as AI, which are radically transforming the way to create and consume this type of content. In fact, these ASMR of knives cutting all kinds of objects and substances are in turn changing, and we are seeing first planes of mouths and hands manipulating all kinds of textures and food, also playing with the surreal (nibbing glass or stones with lava) Exponential growth. And although we all know these videos and their original success, which gave on foot to discussions and parodies of all kinds, they have nothing to do with this new generation of ASMR created with AI, which has automated the contents and multiplied the variants. At the moment the ASMR made with ia is being sneaking into All Trends analysis of the momentand although it is finally a fleeting fashion, that should not make us forget a very important aspect of the content generated with AI: its ability to reinterpret with impossible images and concepts traditional viral materials, which may come to change completely how we consume content.

You just wanted to look at the time and ended five hours of kittens videos

The procrastination It is one of the main reasons why you fail to do everything you have set at the beginning of the day. You know that you should do a certain task, you know that if you do not have consequences, but even so, You are unable to face it. However, there is an even more silent and powerful enemy: the mobile phone. This device, which we carry in the pocket (or in hand) all day, has become A constant source of distraction that steals minutes and hours of sibyline. According to data From Exploding Topics, users spend on average about four hours and 37 minutes a day using the mobile. That implies losing a day a week looking down, or 70 days a year. What would you do with 70 more days? Take awareness of time The applications and services you use on the mobile have been specifically designed To capture your attention constantly. Notifications, messages and social networks interrupt us at any time, and they do it consciously To attract your attention. Do not hesitate, they are very well designed and usually succeed. However, that success of the one part implies the defeat of another: Your concentration. Every time you review a notification, or you “just a view of your mobile, you are not only interrupting your concentration and the workflow, but you must add an average of 23 minutes to return to the state of concentration what you had before. One way to reduce that use, at least during the periods in which you must maintain concentration, is take awareness of the time you spend Using your mobile and what applications you devour your time. Both Apple and Android mobiles have a digital well -being section in adjustments, in which the screen time and use statistics. Consult them daily, and write down the time you spend using the mobile, as well as the time of the day you use it most. That will allow you to detect your use patterns and help you reduce its use during the stripes in which You should be studying, doing sports or learning To make crochet. The limits of space and time Know How do you use the mobile It allows you to know if you are using it excessively in work with applications that have little to do with it, if you do it during your free time or even at hours when you should reduce dopamine levels for reconcile sleep. That information allows you, for example, to adopt the “monk mode“When you must maintain all your concentration in working or studying, and not leaving all responsibility in hands of your willpower. Do you remember what apps were designed to capture your attention? They also have the willpower effect. Not working. The best you can do to avoid falling into the temptation of your notifications And focusing on what you need to finish, it is to prevent your mobile from having the slightest opportunity to capture your attention. The easiest way to do so is to adopt a strategy of “Ulysses contract“, so that you I present, avoid that you I of the future falls into the temptation to look at notifications. In this sense, the options of the digital welfare section or time of use of your mobile can be very useful, since it allows you to program schedules for concentration modes or limit the use of certain applications during a specific time slot. Thus, The limits are automated To help you reduce interruptions that break your concentration. Rediscovering free time Like energy, habits are neither created nor destroyed, They only transform. The bad habits are not eliminatedthey are only replaced For good habits. The same thing happens over time. The time that little by little you are going to scratch social networks and kittens videos, you will be able to use it to do what you want: learn languages, read, do sports or share more time with your friends. Therefore, it is important to think What do you want to spend that time That progressively you will recover, and be aware that that time, that you now use in something tangible, before it was screen time. In this way, you will have a goal to achieve and your effort to recover time acquires a purpose. THE TIME BOOK In the first section we recommended to take awareness of the time of daily use of your mobile, and write it down to detect patterns. Once you start taking action in this regard, continue to take a record of your use data but, this time, add What do you use that time Diary you recover. Those notes are the proof of your little victories. If one day you manage to reduce ten minutes of use, indicate that you have used those ten minutes toRead some pages of a book, or that you have called a friend to ask him how his day. Do it, it has the same effect as cross out a task on your list. It is the finding of the work done, and of The reward for that effortcontributing to Maintain motivation to continue changing screen time for productive time for you.

The amazing history of John McAfee, photos converted into videos with AI and much more in 1×11 crossover

On one occasion John Mcafee forecast that Bitcoin would reach $ 500,000 of value in less than three years. And if I didn’t succeed, he said, “I will eat my penis on national television.” That challenging bet never occurred – Bitcoin has not gone from 110,000 in all this time – but also Mcafee would then reveal that it was actually a call of attention. It is one of the many anecdotes of the life of an entrepreneur who later took an absolutely unusual direction. He began his career as a brilliant programmer and had the vision of creating one of the first commercial antivirus, but after some years of business success, his life took a radical turn. An absolutely unusual one in which the sex, drugs and weapons They were an integral part. All in McAfee’s life was histrionic and exaggerated until it ended up being arrested in Spain for tax evasion. We talk about that unique life in this new 1×11 crossover delivery, but we don’t stay there. Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia are again the drivers of an episode in which we also have other surprises. For example, a review of the news with some of the hottest themes – will the future Apple Watch include a lies detector? – and in which we also introduce a new section. It’s about what has made us experience with Videos generated with AI But that do not start from a text prompt, but from a photo that “comes alive” as always surprising.

We finally have Noah’s videos building his ark, Jesus Christ multiplying fish and Eve being tempted. Thanks to the AI, of course

It has all the meaning of the world: according to the generative IAS They become more and more sophisticatedcontent creators to use and pull social networks are making more and more spectacular videos. And among those who are being applied the most to launch amazing content we have Christian devotees, who are taking advantage of the abilities of artificial intelligence to spread passages from the Bible with an overwhelming realism. Word of God. It is not very clear where the trend began, but it is having a disproportionate reception. At the forefront of these contents are accounts as SECRETOSDELABIBILA0 (more than 500,000 followers) Lokiprosperity (with almost 50,000) or Vlogsbiblia (with more than 30,000), which feedback to each other and parasitate, so it is not very clear where the proverbial eggs and chicken of these contents are. What are they going. The contents are diversified according to the poster, but all coincide in what focuses the profile of ‘Vlogsbiblia’: passages of the Bible recreated with AI and in which the protagonists narrate in the first person and looking to the screen, looking at it as if they were recorded in a mobile. Is not recreated in the ARCA CONSTRUCTION, Daniel in the lions pitthe Multiplication of breads and fishMaria pregnant with JesusJesus Before being crucifiedEva making routines of Skincare In Eden or the same Eva being tempted. In all cases there is a certain sense of humor derived from anachronism and a few harmless jokes at the expense of ICTs Influencers They are surprising, but it is not the only possible approach in this clash between Christianity and generative artificial intelligences. Bible stories. The most popular of these profiles, ‘Lossecretosdelabiblia0’, also recreates with the passages with more traditional planning, such as small films. This also enters beliefs that touch not very traditional Christian teachings: the recipe for A bread that gives immortality And that is in the Bible, the return of Jesus with apocalyptic dyesthe complex angelic mythology, Crazy Giants of four meters in the Old Testament and warnings against the PASCUA EGG PAGANISM. An extensive task of propaganda of faith with videos that reach the seven million views. The sanctification. Undoubtedly, the ‘Los SecretosDeBiblia0’ videos are among the most realistic that have been seen on social networks. They do not allow, evidently, pieces generated by AI, but the relative naturalness of voices and images is a jump with respect to, for example, the first and still grabbed videos of ‘Lokiprosperity’, of simple evangelical advice starring A Jesus emerging between the clouds either asking permission to enter your home. More than enough, in any case to get donations from the target audience of these videos, the same people who believe that the nonsense of AI What do Facebook are real are realand that invariably comment with “blessings” or names of verses. In this last type of videos, which respond to ask how “Are pigs demons?“And they have a marked apocalyptic tone, profiles like ‘focus like’Prophets of Labiblia‘(More than 800,000 followers). Our particular favorite? A video that proposes an unusual cross between evangelization by AI and the tics of influencers that make Jesus, Mary and his disciples in Podcasters. The Christianization of Tiktok. These types of accounts are part of a unique use of social networks by religious currents of great penetration in Spanish -speaking users. We have already talked about profiles that offer an innocent, almost harmless version of Christianity: Bible readers They customize their books, nuns turned into authentic Influencersand a larger scale, groups of Pop music like Hakunawhich manage to add thousands of listeners thanks to the diffusion provided by Tiktok or Instagram style platforms. Hashtags like #christiantiktokwith more than 22 million publications or #JOVENESCRISTIANOSits equivalent in Spanish, with almost five million, are flag bearers of this incursion of the youngest in social redees. Although in the case of these videos generated with AI there is an extra pecuniary component: all profiles link to courses to learn to make digital and evangelizing chrys yourself. Public attentive to all this there are, of course.

Mr. Beast has brought his extreme tourism videos inside the Mayan ruins in Mexico. That is a problem for ruins

Mrbeast It is the most important youtuber and followed in the world, and virtually any idea it has to generate content in its channel becomes a trend. Millionaire contests, spectacular challenges, philanthropic maneuvers … and now, adventure tourism. One of his last adventures has been to pass One hundred hours in an old Mayan temple two thousand years old. It is an idea with a peculiar dark side. One night in the temple. In the video we can see how Mrbeast wanders inside several Mayan pyramids, among other Chichén Itzá. Accompanied by an native guide, which reinforces its promotional character for the powerful tourism business in Mexico, sleeps in the jungle, and can touch funeral masks of the kings buried in the area. A privilege that is not at the scope of any tourist. A superstar. With almost 400 million followers and more than 82,000 million visualizations, no one doubts that Mrbeast is The most important youtuber in the world. The average video display on its channel is about 100 million, although it already has many exceeding 200. The income of your channel They can exceed four million dollars, not counting sponsorships or agreements. An authentic icon of the platform that is largely responsible for the spectacularization of Influencers: Always looking for the most extreme challenge, the most shocking image and the most unexpected trip. The spectacularization of YouTube. This spectacularization of the content is very clear in the titles of its last videos: ‘Would you risk drowning for $ 500,000?‘, I survived 7 days in an abandoned city, I survived the 5 most mortal places on earth… It is a radicalization of the content that is not only in the subject, but in the visual: climbing assemblies, a lot of noise and screams, many careers, a dynamic that stuns and that Keep the spectator dopamine by the clouds. Extreme tourism. Mrbeast exploits a new form of telematic tourism that is hooking millions of viewers by making these trips to remote places, often giving them an adventurous narrative: these trips are often linked to extreme challenges or tests, and have turned tourism into an experience that can be digitally consumed. For example, a few months ago we talked about Fabio Belnome and his trip in a 1998 Fiat to Japan. But there are many more in different social networks: the mountaineer @Nimsdaithe urban explorer @Shieyfreedom or the traveler to high -risk countries @drew_binsky. Thanks to them, the hashtag #tikToktravel, for example, has More than 23,000 million views. The dark side. However, there is a dark side in videos such as Mrbaest Chichén Itzá. In 2024, the Secretariat of Tourist Development of Yucatán reported that he expected the arrival of 6.7 million tourists, more than double those that arrived in the last year pre-pandemic. It is an area to which tourism provides 90% of its income. The controversial Mayan train. To promote and facilitate tourism, projects such as Mayan traina transport that will travel relevant areas of the Mayan zone, with special attention to serve tourism, connecting airports in a space of 1500 kilometers. But the authorities are concerned about Environmental impact of the pharaonic López Obrador project. For example, the works have been arrested in the area of ​​the Riviera Maya, one of the most frequented by tourists. The impact is more than studied in what affects caves, temples and other protected areas, and Even Unesco has intervened. The double track. Mexico is, in this way, before a dilemma: the content of Mrbeast is sponsored, as the video credits affirm, by the Tourism Secretariat of Mexicoin collaboration with institutions such as the National Institute of Anthropology and History. But at the same time, the massification of tourism is eroding archaeological treasures such as these temples, in a dilemma of which perhaps the great travel and adventure youtubers will have to begin to take responsibility in the future.
